The chief military spokesman said Israeli forces will strike Gaza City 'very soon.' The announcement came as thousands of Palestinians scrambled to leave northern Gaza.
Israel's military says it is is nearing a widespread counteroffensive attack in Gaza City, where thousands of Palestinians have scrambled to evacuate over the past day.
"Gaza City is where the focus and the hub of Hamas activities are, that is where most of the commanders are, most of their infrastructure and their ability to continue to operate," Conricus said Saturday. Efforts to flee northern Gaza have also been complicated by Israel's ongoing airstrikes and military presence.
